Iron Chef Chinese Seafood Restaurant
Reviews
The best yum cha in Sydney. They have a great selection of dishes and you'll find something for everyone. Be aware that if you come on a weekend you could be queuing for a couple of hours because they are so popular. I would especially recommend their mango pancakes, they taste like an even better version of a weis bar. If you are going for dinner then you won't find it on the menu but you can request it and if they have some that day then they will get it for you.
This is my first yum cha at cabra and I'm very impressed, Iron chef is located on the other side of the station, with a carpark nearby, the decor is quite nice and we were promptly taken to a table. Food was good and fresh, we ordered all the standard fare and they were delicious. But the major drawcard came when we got the bill, it works out to be 10 dollars per person !! Great Value and totally worth the drive
I was first introduced to Iron Chef by friends who lived in the west. We had yum cha there several years ago and recently my family and I went for yum cha here when we're in the area. Since we came at the end of lunch service, the kitchen has already finished churning out some goodies. We still got to enjoy many dim sum dishes. For me, the highlight is the beef tendon which is soft, sticky and gelatinous. I also like the chicken feet and the pork mince dim sum with quail egg. The egg tart and prawn har gau is a bit of a let down but generally the whole meal was enjoyable. The service here is great and I was quite surprised to find most of the staff here speak english. Something that's quite rare in a yum cha place. Our total bill came to $81 for 4 hungry adults and we ate till our bellies were bulging. If you're looking for a place to have good Chinese food in the west then this is one of the places to go.
Look up my blog for photos! Iron Chef is famous in Cabramatta. My work colleague who lives in Bondi drives all the way to Cabramatta to eat the infamous crab. Iron Chef is bustling and full of customers at 11:00AM. I love yum cha and the whole experience of trolleys coming around, stamps on your card and drinking bottomless tea. I went to Iron Chef for the first time to try their yum cha. It was a nice experience and the highlights for me were the calamari. It was perfectly crumbed with a nice sprinkle of chili and spring onion. The dumplings were good but not a highlight. I'm not sure if they quite compare to the city restaurants. When the little cart came around offering up duck pancakes, I couldn't resist. The duck looked and tasted equally amazing. The duck meat was juicy with tasty glazed skin. I had a nice chunk of duck which would was very tasty. The duck pancake would have been perfect if they just cut the duck a more thin to my liking and the cucumber thinner to my liking. The BBQ pork rice rolls were very generous in filling and very tasty. The rice noodle was very thin though. I would have loved another layer of rice noodle goodness. So tasty. So very tasty. Check out Iron Chef if you're looking for a yum cha in the west. My other yum cha favourites out west include The Dynasty in Belmore or North West in North Ryde at the Emperor's Table. Prices: My brunch for two included 6 dishes for $40 with free tea
Love yum cha at this restaurant. Yummy dim sims like prawn dumplings, fried spring rolls, pork buns etc. It also has peking duck and the waitress will make it in front of you. The downside is about parking and the crowd in the weekend. It's better to get there early than the peak hours.
